Interviews do not just count - they count the most. Tale yourself back a
few weeks. Maybe you wrote a terrific resume and cover letter, networked
with the right people, got yourself invited to the interview through sheer
persistence, or just had a stroke of good luck. Whatever methods you
used, congratulations; you are a winner; at this stage of the job search.
You have become successful at what others only dream of achieving -
grabbing the interest and attention of employers who decide it is now time
to see you in person. They need to further evaluate your qualifications to
determine if you will fit into their organization. As previously said, resume is first half of the battle but the interview is the final half of the battle!
Some Interview Myths!
The best person for the job does not necessarily win it is
the person who gives the best interview.
Interviews are more than just giving technically correct answers.
They are also very much about building rapport.
It is better to be honest and admit ignorance than try to pretend you
know an answer and come across as disingenuous and less than bright.
Good looking people win jobs, maybe in Hollywood movies, but
on the whole, employers are keen to hire talent over superficial factors.
